I have been living in the riding for more than ten years and I want to represent my constituents and have an ongoing dialogue with them to make positive and concrete changes. Our riding deserves a representative at the decision table of the federal government,\u201d said the candidate to her supporters at the Dollard des Ormeaux Civic Centre on Sunday evening. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn politics, you have to believe in something and we believe in the rule of law,\u201d said Maxime Bernier at last Sunday\u2019s candidacy introduction of Val\u00e9rie Assouline for Conservative MP of the Pierrefonds-Dollard riding. <\/p>\n<p>The Minister of State for Small Business and Tourism and MP for Beauce told the 200 plus Assouline supporters at the DDO Civic Centre that the government does \u201cnot want to re-open the constitution but wants to respect the current law as it stands.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also want to respect the privacy of Canadians without being involved in every aspect of their day to day lives,\u201d said Bernier. \u201cOur platform is simple; we want to reduce government and lower taxes for Canadians.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The minister also spoke about the need to support small and medium businesses so that they can grow and continue to provide jobs and economic growth for the country. \u201cThis is why our government has been signing free trade agreements with other countries and with the E.U. so that businesses will face less quotas and tariffs,\u201d said Bernier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe recipe for election success is to reduce government, lower taxes and respect the constitution,\u201d concluded Bernier to enthusiastic applause. <\/p>\n<p>Assouline told the assembled that one of the main reasons why she is running for public office is \u201cthe responsibility towards my children and our children for their future so that we can give us a country we can all be proud of. I know the importance of a strong job market and want people to have the same opportunities I have had since coming to Canada from Morocco when I was four.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The lawyer and mother of four praised the West Island\u2019s diverse population that can live together \u201cas one and we all care for our neighbours.\u201d Assouline also wants to do more to help area families facing food insecurity because \u201cthere are too many struggling families on the West Island.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Concerning the events of last week involving the deaths of soldiers Patrice Vincent and Nathan Cirillo, former Pierrefonds-Dollard MP Gerry Weiner, who represented the Conservative Party starting in 1984, told the gathering that while&nbsp;\u201cthe central institution of our democracy was under fire,&nbsp;we must not let it&nbsp;change us.\u201d<br \/>\n  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i[&#8216;GoogleAnalyticsObject&#8217;]=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){<br \/>\n  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),<br \/>\n  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)<br \/>\n  })(window,document,&#8217;script&#8217;,&#8217;\/\/www.google-analytics.com\/analytics.js&#8217;,&#8217;ga&#8217;);<\/p>\n<p>  ga(&#8216;create&#8217;, &#8216;UA-45892555-1&#8217;, &#8216;auto&#8217;);<br \/>\n  ga(&#8216;send&#8217;, &#8216;pageview&#8217;);<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Less government and lower taxes Bernier, Minister for Small Business By Kevin Woodhouse www.thesuburban.com Val\u00e9rie Assouline has been acclaimed as the Conservative Party candidate in Pierrefonds-Dollard for the federal election of October 2015. \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to represent the Conservative Party of Canada under the leadership of our Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
